		  okay - thank you all, especially mike murphy who turned me
on to german
		transaxles.  i found out from them that the tranny cases are
the same size,
		both my AKU and the AXM being 1A style trannies.  he also
found out that the
		ring and pinion gears are the same.  the drive flanges are
different sizes,
		but apparently, that is easily remedied with the flanges
from my current
		tranny.  i have been unable to find any info on the gear
ratios, but i am
		not that concerned about that, as i am sure that i will have
a gear for
		every speed with either tranny.  can anybody tell me
anything else to look
		out for?  i am going to buy this stuff at 8pm est, so if
anyone has anything
		to say about this, please let me know before 8.  otherwise,
thank you all
		very much for your help over the last couple of days.

		yours,
